*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Gallo Family Wines I’ve had Martin Codax wines before. In fact, I used to frequently purchase the Albariño, finding it to be a good deal for what you got in the bottle. The same can be said for the Temprañillo, especially at the $10 price tag [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the folks at Pasternak Imports. As I mentioned, we’re finally easing out of the DC spummall and into (slightly) cooler temperatures. And the humidity is gone, at last. So that means red wine! But I’m looking at the gateway red wines (ha), of the lighter variety [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks representing this brand. Tonight we pulled the 2006 Campo Viejo Crianza Tempranillo from the racks. It had a real cork closure, clocked in at 13.5% alcohol by volume, and I see it retails for about $9. I served this with leftover lamb pie [...]

I’ve written about Coral Mustang’s Rose before, over a year ago. You can read those notes here. However, when I was out in California for the Wine Blogger Conference, I finally got to meet Penny, the winemaker and owner. We’d been trying to catch up for quite some time now, but always kept missing her. [...]

I picked up this bottle of 2004 Barricas Tempranillo from Chronicle Wine Cellar in Pasadena. It had a real cork closure, cost $6.95 and was 13% alcohol by volume. At this price point, I thought this wine was a fairly good value, though I’m not terribly familiar with Tempranillos, so don’t have much to judge [...]
